How to Apply Indigo Sleek Interior Single Pack PU (1K)

Proper surface preparation is key to PU performance:

1. Surface Prep: Sand the wood with 180-grit sandpaper, progressing to 320-grit. The surface must be clean and dust-free. If staining, apply WoodTech Wood Stain now and let it dry.
2. Sealer Coat: For the best results, apply a coat of NC Sanding Sealer (for speed) or Wood Primer, sand lightly with 400-grit, and wipe clean.
3. Dilution: Dilute the Indigo Sleek Interior Single Pack PU (1K) with PU Thinner (approx. 10-20%) if spraying. For brushing, use minimal to no thinner.
4. Application: Apply 2-3 coats using a spray gun or high-quality brush, allowing 4-6 hours between coats.
5. Final Cure: The film will be hard in 24 hours, but allow 7 days for the final, full PU hardness. Find expert tips on applying polyurethane here.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the main difference between 1K and 2K PU?
A: 1K (Single Pack) is easier to use and has a longer shelf life after opening. 2K (Two Pack, like Asian Paints WoodTech PU) achieves greater final hardness and better chemical resistance for professional-grade, high-stress applications.

Q: Can I apply this over old varnish?
A: You must sand and clean the old finish thoroughly. For the best adhesion and durability of Indigo Sleek Interior Single Pack PU (1K), it is always recommended to sand down to the bare wood.

Q: How long does it take to cure?
A: While it’s touch dry in under an hour, the coating reaches maximum chemical resistance and scratch hardness after a full 7-day cure period.
